His Grayness: Dear all Fanstory friends, my sincere thanks and prayers, and blessings go out to all of you for the wonderful gifts you have so beautifully shared here on Fanstory! I am so eager to see more of your lovely works and hope to share mine with you as well! Blessings and love always! HIS GRAYNESS; Vance


His Grayness: I am a longstanding member of Fanstory who seeks to answer a prayer said long ago: that I Might reach beyond the limits of my Alzheimer's challenge and still find the rich blessings of Gratitude for my wonderful life experiences, and share them with others in a manner that would create that gratitude anew in them also. Poetry is my best medicine now along with my mission to bring others out of the "grayness"

    Dean Kuch: My thoughts and prayers are with you, Vance.

    Tina Crute: My step mom had Alzheimer's and we nursed her for several years before she passed away 4 years ago. Now my dad is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and he's in the beginning stages, but already my heart hurts because of what he has to go through. Whenever I pray for my dad, I'm going to pray for you too. It's unlike the norm when you are going through a challenge, to uplift others, so I really appreciate you being my cheerleader :-) -
    Frank De layna: I hope your on Medicare, social securty and any other programs, because Trump going to take them away from you.

FanStory wrote to His Grayness: When fire challenges rain finished third in the contest "Ode Poetry"


FanStory wrote to His Grayness: The Muslim Candidate finished third in the contest "I Believe"


His Grayness: I am a "Senior-Kid" with the spirit of a person who is now, and has been, (as long as I can remember), DRIVEN to Learn, Teach, and most of all, 'CREATE". I believe in GOD, "The Creator" (without religious bias or complex dogma). I believe that GOD (as the ultimate creator) would logically Create, more Creators! My mission in life is to encourage, stimulate, and support CREATORS and help bring them to the PINNACLE of GRATITUDE in their lives.
    Slythytove2: I for one don't think there can be a greater calling than to promote creativity. We are all going to have to learn to do that in the not too distant future. Thanks for all your support, and if you ever find yourself in Stuart Florida looking for a bed for the night, you have one here.

    Hamiel: To God be the glory! -
    Lori S: Well, as usual, there are no coincidences. And what a serendipitous treat to stumble onto a site such as this! After reading your review of my poem - which was the first I posted to the site- I suspected I'd found a place to connect with true kindred creative spirits. And after reading your previous post and the loving responses you've received, I believe I've found a new home and a new tribe. Your eloquently stated views on God and gratitude echo my own concept of our connection with and relationship to our Creator. I believe we are blessed to tap into and reflect this power through art. You are an inspiration for holding on to gratitude, and boldly sharing light despite life's trials. This is clearly more than just a place to hone one's writing skills, but a community of support... -


His Grayness: Ok..the old intro is now expired with age! I've been on this site for several months now so I've got serious perspective...not like that rookie stuff below. So here's what you get at Fanstory... ahhhh....it's simply what you GIVE at Fanstory! This is the very kindest greatest, bunch of brilliant, loving, talented, human beings I've ever "connected" with! This site works like an elegant, costly, Swiss watch, beautifully designed and powerful in scope and capacity! Tom (the creator) is always caring, and very responsive to any questions. The thinking behind this site design is brilliant and the intention and integrity of the mission for this site is honorable and trustworthy. I've made many new friends with a will to teach and learn and I believe ... a spirit to share their deepest emotions and spiritual gifts to the betterment of all. Simply...I'm very impressed but much more: I'm GRATEFUL for all of the people who live here. Vance
    Sonjalee: Dito. When I first started with FAnStory I could not believe how nurturing this group of people are. And after being involved , I still think this is an extraordinarily great group. And thanks to Tom who has been very helpful to me as I have journeyed through this wonderful experience of understanding poetry and attempting to write it well.And I agree what you get is what you give, and if you are willing to open your heart and mind a wonderful gift awaits you. A gift of friendship and learning , what a unique and wonderful gift.
    And I say to Brooke. Thank you for the wonderful classes you give. Your talent and kindness shows no boundries. Congrats on your award. It was given to the right person.
    And thanks to all of you who have read and reviewed my poems/ I am quite the novice but I love trying to put words into a state of meaning that conveys beauty and understandlng to some of the craziness and love in this world.
    And after 3 years I have 3 fans which appeared within the last few weeks, I gave up on ever getting a fan. What a complement-thanks so much. -
    Liilia: I just found this awesome thread while browsing FS and FAR at close to 2AM. Reading all the comments, all I can say is YES, YES, YES. Since my first fledgling efforts in 2005, I have clung to FS like glue. It's the best, indeed. Looks like DIS has not found me. Is that good? All my best to you, Sir Grayness. Luv, Liilia -
    Scarlett Jensen: I find this site a welcoming gift to a group of people who love the word and am proud to be part of it. Thank you to you for being part of us. I am lucky to learn from you.

    DIS-illusioned: 'REAL poets'--here?? Ha, that's a good one! Thanks for a much needed chuckle, Grayness. :) -
    shelley kaye: please excuse the DIS and don't let him scare you off - he is so "disillusioned" ;-)

    His Grayness: Well...I've been at this for a few decades and seen some horrible websites on poetry and of course some very poor poetry but so far here, it has been well above anywhere else. Sure there are some poor old souls out there that need some guidance and maybe it's just best to try and help them rather than to scorn them. Feels better that way...trust me! Please read my poem EGO FIELDS RE: -
    Eliza M: Welccome your 'Grayness'!
